Psychiatric Evaluation

PSYCHIATRY

All patients coming for the first time will have a slightly longer 70-minute evaluation session which includes a review of multiple aspects of a patient's history up to the current point in time.

This session is integral in generating a diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Please note that not all evaluations can be conducted thoroughly in one session.

If applicable, Dr. Gallardo will review existing components of treatment and/or put a plan in place to review other pieces of collateral information relevant to the treatment plan.​​​​​​​

The initial evaluation session is integral in generating diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Due to the complex nature of life and psychiatric conditions, please note that not all evaluations can be conducted to completion in one session and may require patience over time to do the most thorough assessment.​​​​​​​
